The passenger side door will open by itself. This happened twice within the last month with a passenger in the seat and once with no passenger. The warning lamp will come with an alert to say that the passenger side door is open. This puts the safety of those in the car at risk of falling out, or possibly an accident if the door completely opens. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
Ford is refusing to repair the rear camera wiring defect. The dealer attempted multiple times and Ford is refusing to replace it, instead the dealer is asking for $1000 dollars.

Brake lights don’t function brake switch bumper broke off and lights stay on but not bright when brake is depressed. Loss of power random misfire cut from loss of power. Brake switch fault in computer.
The contact's husband owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact while reversing, the rearview camera image was distorted and black. The contact stated that the failure had increased, causing the rearview camera to become inoperable. Additionally, the contact stated that the tailgate had failed to open while using the key fob, while pressing the tailgate release switch inside the cabin and the release button on the decklid. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the decklid wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 22v082000 (back over prevention) because the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
A plastic clip ("brake pedal bumper") broke and fell out of place, causing the brake pedal to no longer reach the brake light switch. The brake lights now remain illuminated permanently, even with the brakes released. This also caused the engine and transmission to go into "limp mode", the engine no longer revving over 2,000 rpm, the transmission not shifting, and hill-start assist and traction control no longer working, making the car unsafe to drive. The brake lights will remain on even when the car is completely shut off and locked, draining and damaging the battery. It is my understanding that this is a known issue, and there was a recall for this in certain states. (safety recall 22s02, regional recall 22r01). There should be a national recall for this, as the affected part appears to be of low quality, and causes safety issues when it fails, with the car's drivability and lighting affected.
Third tail light and rear tail lights remained illuminated after the car was turned off. Driver discovered the brake light switch (rubber/plastic piece) had crumbled into the floor board preventing the tail lights from turning off, thus, becoming a hazard to other motorists on the road as the tail lights remained illuminated even while driving. While the vehicle was being driven, the driver could not accelerate to the appropriate speeds as the car was "thinking" the brakes were being applied and could only approximately drive at 40-50 mph. The vehicle has been inspected and the above information was confirmed as the issue. No other warnings/messages occurred prior to the piece breaking.
Wire under passenger sear for heated seats has burning smell. Wire was replaced but happens again. Will need to replace entire plug.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Mustang. The contact stated that the local dealer had previously marked the recall of NHTSA campaign number: 22v082000 (back over prevention) as complete as no failure was found upon inspection of the vehicle. The contact stated that the trunk later failed to open, and the trunk emergency release mechanism was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, where it was diagnosed that the deck lid wiring harness had failed, and the failure was related to NHTSA campaign number: 22v082000 (back over prevention). The dealer sent a diagnostic report to the manufacturer; however, the manufacturer declined to cover the repair. The manufacturer informed the dealer that another dealer had already marked the recall as complete upon inspection of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 15,600.
The little rubber pad that it attached to the brake pedal disintegrated. Without that pad the vehicle goes into limp mode and won’t drive over 40. Don’t know why the brake switch is connected to other electronics in the vehicle that would make it go into limp mode. Very unsafe while driving on the highway.
The brake pedal stop bumper has fallen off and causing the exact issues in safety recall notice 22s02; NHTSA recall 22v011. This VIN and others should also be added to this recall. Pictured item was located on the floors.
The plastic break switch pad broke when I was driving on the highway. I lost engine power and rpms were erratic. Brake lights would not turn off even when brakes were not applied.

Back up camera goes in and out, fuel pump started making bad sounds a few month after buying it like screeching sounds got the car around 39000.
Heated and cooled seats are not sufficiently grounded, causing burnt wiring beneath passenger seat, overcurrent to blower motor. This issue applies to multiple makes and models using the Ford\motorcraft wire harness part number wpt-928.
Touchscreen is dark. Tried to reset by pressing the radio on button and forward button the same time, checken all harnesses and connectors. Everything fine. Apparantly the apim module failed.
Rear camera wiring fails. Car was at dealer for repair in may and manufacturer or dealer has yet to address the issue. This includes third eye brake light and trunk lid.
Advancetracservice light, hill assist not available, check engine light is on, driver selection light comes on. I've taken it to the dealership and they cannot find the problem, but steering wheel and car was temporarily inoperable and turning the steering wheel was almost impossible. Suspension is off as well.
1. Trunk would not open. (we had to get this fixed so we got it fixed. ) the wiring to the trunk was broken. Without a trunk that opens the convertible is pretty useless for anything but driving. Luckily we didn't have groceries inside when it stopped opening. I did call the Ford dealership (the 1st one) and was told to use the key to get it to open through the seats. The wiring was broken. Thank god no child had gotten in there! 2. 3rd brake light was not working. (we had to get this fixed so we got it fixed. ) this is a hazard with a lower car. Other cars don't see you stopping without this feature. 3rd brake light is also on that wiring harness and was fixed at the 2nd dealership. 3. Back-up camera stopped working. (we wanted to get this fixed however, the cost was more than we had at the time. ) it needs to be working. A person can see behind to back up. This is a safety issue for certain! we were told we would need to get another camera as it was also on the same wiring. This is a problem for backing up with a convertible that has a small window. If the top is down in good weather I can see, however,. . There is more driving done with the top up. 4. We also have had a problem with our heated/cooled seats. We were they were not on the same wiring. But, could be fixed for $$$. This was started last spring/summer. (2021) we have written Ford motor CO. And they said there weren't problems with any of these items and they wouldn't be fixing them. Yes, there is a problem with them and they should be fixed.
The issue is the brake light switch stop pad on the brake pedal which is a rubber type of plug. At 70,000 miles the brake light switch stop pad cracked and fell into floor board (see pictures). When that happened, the rpms dropped to idle speed and the car slowed down. After a few seconds, the car would pick up speed again only to repeat the event over and over again. I understand that when the brake light switch stop pad is missing and the plunger on the switch is fully out, the car thinks that you are applying the brakes. I was lucky, I was on a two lane road with no traffic, but I was headed to an inter-state with heavy traffic. Ford (nor does anyone else) does not sell just the rubber plug which fits on the brake pedal, but it will sell the complete brake pedal assembly. Not sure the reason that the brake pedal would require the hole that requires the rubber plug, but think that Ford should be responsible for the replacement or a better solution for the repair (provide a replacement plug, not just the complete brake pedal assembly. Thank you for you time in this matter. Bruce moore.
I was driving my 2015 twin eco-boost car on a city street,when I I heard something under hood. And right at that moment smoke was rolling out from under the hood. When I stopped and got out,thats when a witness told me she saw flames coming out from under the car it melted everything under the hood. Every wire was exsposed. I am waiting for report from fire department. I do have a picture of it. Fire chief said battery exploded.
Back up camera has same symptoms as 2020 Ford models being recalled. 8/4/20.
Backup camera functions intermittently. Often showing an error message, of rear view camera not available.
Brake light stop pad broke into multiple pieces while driving, causing the brake light switch to malfunction. Brake lights remained on even when pedal is not depressed, which causes various performance issues due to the ecu believing the brake pedal is being depressed. Brake lights remained on when car was turned off.
The rearview camera will intermittently display a blank or distorted image. When placing the car in reverse the camera will intermittently display a blank screen or distorted image while reversing the vehicle. This reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. This happens when both stationary and in motion. This is the same issue that my 2020 Ford Mustang gt VIN [xxx] has just received a recall notice for. The camera began to fail the summer of 2020. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Rear back up camera works intermittently when shifter placed in reverse. Sometimes it shows distorted images and sometimes it just goes blank with a message on the screen to contact your Ford dealer.
Location of electric power steering is the worse possible place. Failures are common due to water damage causing power steering to stop working at any moment. Even when car is moving which could cause accidents or death.
Climate controlled seats stopped working. While diagnosing the issue I found that connector c3265b on the front seat climate control module was burned severely and melted.
Back up camera not working on 2015 Ford Mustang v6. Did research on forums and it seems like a lot of people are having this issue. It happens whenever you put the car in reverse from being stationary.
Electric power streering wheel failure under cold weather condition.
